Nixs Poem
Have you ever wondered what the Silver Birch Sings?
The Lady of the Woods, new life she brings
Her vibrations soft and gentle in the twinkling sunshine
Her delicate leaves flutter in the wind, so divine
So many gifts this lady offers us to do
Her spring sap for drinking or using as a shampoo
Her bark for fire tinder, or even a canoe
Or the Birch Polypore as an antiseptic plaster too
The first tree in the Ogham alphabet
She holds magic to be released if you let
Symbolising renewal and purification with a witches broom
And if you are ready, can help attract your bridegroom
